# What You'll Need:

→ Tortillas

01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

→ Spreads & Cheese

02 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until a smooth, homogenous spread forms.
02 - Place one tortilla on a clean cutting board. Evenly distribute one-quarter of the cheese mixture across the surface, ensuring coverage to the edges.
03 - Arrange approximately 1.75 ounces sliced turkey breast in an even layer over the cheese mixture.
04 - Scatter roughly 0.5 ounces of baby spinach leaves atop the turkey, covering in a uniform layer.
05 - Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a compact log, ensuring the filling remains enclosed.
06 - Repeat the cheese spread, turkey, spinach, and rolling process for each remaining tortilla.
07 - Wrap each rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to facilitate slicing.
08 - Unwrap chilled rolls and trim the ends for neatness. Using a sharp chef's knife, cut each roll into 6 equally sized pinwheels.
09 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter and present chilled or at room temperature.
